2016 Bodegas El Nido 'El Nido' (Torn Labels)

"Deep, bright-hued violet color. Intensely perfumed, spice- and mineral-accented cherry and dark berry preserve, candied violet and fruitcake aromas, along with a sexy floral topnote and a subtle touch of smoky minerality. Broad, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering palate-staining black/blue fruit, floral pastille, star anise and cola flavors that convey a compelling mix of depth and energy. Puts on weight with air while maintaining vivacity and finishes extremely long and sappy, showing youthful tannic grip and an emphatic echo of juicy blue fruit. (aged in new French/American oak barrels for two years)" - 96/100 Vinous
